Incredible people
Joy Milne from Perth, Scotland, can smell Parkinson's disease. Before her late husband was diagnosed, Joy said his smell changed. By chance she mentioned this to scientists at a talk. They were intrigued, so Edinburgh University tested her.
In one test, she was given 12 T-shirts, six from
people who had Parkinson's and six from others without. She identified 11 of them but was adamant that one control subject had Parkinson's. Eight months later that subject was diagnosed with Parkinson's.
Gus, gran says study brings rewards
Rebecca received a mis-addressed letter a couple of months ago in the post and can't find its owner. "It's addressed to Gus from his grandma in the UK congratulating him on his school results, saying that Grandpa would have been proud of him and there is a pound coin inside. And there is no return address. I opened it because that's almost our address and our cat is called Gus and thought it was some sort of joke," she explains. "I'm guessing the family is in Kingsland. If you could publish it and they can name the grandpa I would love to give it to them."
